Key points

  • M&A is a critical growth strategy for top quartile companies, helping them expand market share, add capabilities, and grow geographically.
  • Corporate development functions often lack the specialized skills and resources required to effectively execute M&A, making an outsourced advisor like Revenue Rocket valuable.
  • An M&A advisor can provide objectivity, expertise, and a Dutch uncle role to help guide both the buyer and seller through the complex M&A process.
  • M&A advisors do not have a pre-packaged list of deals, but rather tailor their research and outreach to each client's unique needs and ideal acquisition targets.
  • The post-merger integration phase is critical, and an M&A advisor can help ensure a smooth transition by providing an objective, expert perspective.
  • Outsourcing corporate development to an M&A advisor is typically more cost-effective than building an internal function, with a potential 5x savings.
  • Without an experienced M&A advisor, companies risk common pitfalls like failing to meet expected shareholder value and not dedicating enough time to the acquisition strategy.
  • The tech services sector is expected to see continued M&A activity in 2025, presenting opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
  • Revenue Rocket has 25 years of experience in the tech services M&A space and is well-positioned to help clients navigate this active market.
